Silently as a shadow he entered the candlelit chambers. Drawing near the bed he paused, gazing down at the man that lay slumbering beneath furs and linens. His eyes traced the curve of a pale shoulder, over the hollow of a naked throat. His skin burned.

The gift he held suddenly weighed strangely heavy in his hands. Gently he placed the newly mended Horn on the pillow. Tempted, his hand strayed near tousled dark blond hair. He lingered, hungered but did not touch.


He spoke: "I love you."


Boromir slept on, too deep in dreams to notice barely whispered words.

Awww, what a sweet gesture! :-) You have a lovely writing style, and your descriptions are very realistic.

Thanks! That's great to hear, I really wanted to set a mood and with only 100 words it can be tricky. Glad ya liked! :)

mweh... mweh... this is so lovely, your use of words is so poetic, and the gesture is indeed very romantic! My only quibble is that it should be longer :)

*blush* Thank you. I'm glad you liked the gesture, it was the first thing I thought of. Now, if only Boromir would *wake up*! Must have a talk with the muses..

...and wasn't I right to tell you to post? It's still lovely. Thank you!

[archet.livejournal.com]

You are always right. About everything. *g* Thanks for the nudge/encouragement!

[karelian]

HOWL! I am quoting you on this to my kids!

[archet.livejournal.com]

Hee, quote away! *g*

That's a really sweet scene... I liked it very much. I know this isn't what you intended, but I keep seeing Faramir in this scene instead of Aragorn, with all the quietness and secrecy about it. Aragorn, I think, would be more direct. Anyways, it's a lovely scene, no matter what my subconcious sticks on it. Thanks for sharing!

Actually...*snerk*...when this was written, I'd just finished an angsty Faramir ficlet, and when I posted this to the list, I labeled it A/B --but that B/F would work too. Then I thought that was too wishywashy, and I didn't like the whole 'interchangeable pairing' thing and left it as just A/B. You picked up on my subliminal Faramir! *g*

Oh, I love it. It's so--tender.

Absolutely perfect. *g*

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yes, Aragorn and Boromir are perfect together aren't they? ;)
